"Seurat and the Making of "La Grande Jatte" provides an in-depth exploration of one of the world's most renowned paintings,
A Sunday on La Grande Jatte - 1884 by Georges Seurat. The catalogue accompanies the first comprehensive exhibition of La Grande
Jatte and its many related drawings and oil paintings. Seurat scholar Robert L. Herbert makes new revelations about the painting's
relationship to its preparatory studies, stressing Seurat's empirical craftsmanship. He compares La Grande Jatte to works
by Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, and Signac, also in the exhibition, and analyzes the ways that twentieth-century critics, including
Meyer Schapiro, T.J. Clark, and Linda Nochlin, have viewed the picture. Herbert proposes that the enduring fascination of
the famous canvas comes from Seurat's mixture of fashion and irony." "Also giving new perspectives in this book, the noted
cultural historian Neil Harris charts how and why La Grande Jatte attained its revered status at the Art Institute of Chicago
and throughout the United States. Additionally, the exhibition's cocurators examine the painting's place in the museum's collection.
Essays by Art Institute conservators show how Seurat transferred and altered figures from studies to final canvas and elucidate
the exact nature of his pigments and brushwork. Color scientist Roy S. Berns traces the efforts to digitally recapture the
original hues of Seurat's time-altered masterpiece."--Jacket

"Once described as "the most beautiful painter's drawings in existence," Georges Seurat's mysterious and radiant works on
paper played a crucial role in his career. Though Seurat is most often remembered as the inventor of pointillism and for paintings
like Un Dimanche a la Grande Jatte, his incomparable drawings are among his - and modernism's - greatest achievements. Working
primarily with conte crayon on paper, Seurat explored the Parisian metropolis and its environs, abstracted figures, spaces,
and structures, and dramatized the relationship between light and shadow, creating a distinct body of work that is a touchstone
for art the twentieth century and today." "Accompanying the first exhibition in almost twenty-five years to focus exclusively
on Seurat's drawings, this volume surveys the artist's entire oeuvre - from his academic training and the emergence of his
unique methods to the studies made for his monumental canvases. Distinguished writers present important new research on Seurat's
artistic strategies, materials, and themes."--Jacket

In his paintings, Seurat transposed his subjects into his technique, Pointillism, as well as into his innovative compositions.
In later pieces, he even repeated and varied human forms within a single work. For his increasingly geometrical visual composition,
which subordinates the individual elements to a system, he earned the admiration of the Bauhaus. Exhibition: Kunsthaus Zürich,
